Promise of a Rose
Prelude
Reminiscing
----------
Up on the rooftops of the Tendo household laid one Ranma Saotome. This wasn't an unusual sight as Ranma often did this when he felt he needed a break – no matter how small – from his hectic lifestyle. And lying up here looking at the moon that was shining down on Nerima and other parts of the world always seemed to relax him; that everything crazy going on in his life right now didn't really matter cause in the end everything was going to be alright. Of course, by the next day when he's usually thrown into the small koi pond that resided just outside in the Tendo's front lawn, Ranma highly doubted the validity of that feeling.
Shaking his head at those thoughts and the still ongoing antics of his life, Ranma sat up before reaching inside his shirt. Slowly, and almost delicately, Ranma pulled out the remains of an old, flatten down rose. The moon had always made him think of her for some reason, ever since they had first met. He wondered if she still remembered.
Probably not.
Frowning slightly at that thought, Ranma quickly put the fragile rose back into the hidden pocket inside his shirt before looking around to see if anyone had seen him with the object. He didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea and believing that he was becoming a girl – although he technically does – or something. After a few glances here and there, Ranma let out a small sigh before flipping back into the room – via a window – that he shared with his father.
And somewhere out there a young girl had gasped before placing a hand over her heart at the sudden upsetting emotion she'd just felt. It was as if she had forgotten something, or someone, very important to her.
That thought was then sidetracked, however, when the girl suddenly tripped and one of her best friends nagged her mercilessly at how much of a klutz she constantly proved herself to be.
To Be Continued….
Comments: I shouldn't have, but I did. Did what exactly? Create another story that is. However this little snippet of mine was actually written some time right after my first story, but I was hesitant to post it up – if at all. On the other hand, since I probably won't be able to post any new updates for an approximate of two weeks I thought I'd leave this in my absence. Though it is a bit cruel of me to leave you all with something so small. On the bright side, I did give off a galore – obvious or not so obvious – of hints on who this mystery girl of Ranma's is. Can you guess?
